The them

Arven and Nemona from @c0stiffen's Paradise AU for Pokemon Scarlet

I’m working on an SV bad end AU— the professors never get divorced and the protag never moves to Paldea, so we end up with paradox pokemon running all over the place and a few very angry rivals. Nemona, who never found a true rival and felt misunderstood and stifled always having to hold back, is recruited by Sada to protect this “new paradise” where she can fight all the strong opponents she wants and never have to hold herself back. Penny, who was expelled along with the rest of Team Star and now resents Paldean society, is recruited by Turo to help in tearing down the old and replacing it with a newer, better system

In other words: be gay do crime, the AU

Thoughts on the SV professors in the story? They seem so tragic but also really bad ;~;

HMMMMMM...

I really like them because of how tragic and unintentionally fucked up they are. Especially since you get insight into how they just had good intentions to build a "paradise" for those you care for (Arven) but ultimately fail because you lose yourself to the work and be blind to what the person you care for (ARVEN) ultimately wants and needs. Poor kid wanted his parents to be WITH HIM AND HELP HIM GO THROUGH HIS CHILDHOOD WITH LOVE....yet they lost themselves to work and then died for it more or less.

The AI prof adds more perspective on this too a little. They are arguably the same as the og with the memories, but came to a different conclusion: instead of wanting to bring in Paradox Pokemon to Paldea at whatever cost (ecological damage be damned), they saw Paldea as a region to keep safe and so wished for the og prof's vision of paradise to end. It is also possible the AI prof witnessed the og prof's death in the Research Station no.4 accident and felt that such risks for a paradise was not worth keeping up.Not to mention that PARADISE PROTECTION PROTOCOL, which the AI prof were not even aware the og prof added into the time machine to ENSURE the thing kept running is so FUCKED UP!!!! How did you fall that far????

The entire situation is so damn tragic and makes you sympathize with the profs....but god it is NOT good for anyone involved and child protective services (including me) will be after their very dead asses for this. AI profs get a pass because they realized the huge fuck-up that their creator caused and tried to help. Reading fics about "AI prof survives and stays with Arven" aus just...has destroyed my ass LOL

Now GAMEFREAK/TPCI/Nintendo...DO NOT PULL A USUM!Lusamine on this shit!!! DO NOT MAKE THEM REDEEMABLE THEY ARE MORE FUN LIKE THIS OK
